In jovial mood, not in shambles though.

Yes, I'm sure AI boosters are in shambles.

Isn’t data center water usage actually non-story?

How would hurting elderly be more harmful than hurting children? I know that we are about to live in gerontocracy, but it’s still a wild statement to make.

I'd like to hear definition of intelligence that would classify median person as intelligent but LLMs not (and then I'd wait few months for another moving of the goalpost and new definition). Bonus points if it's not recursiv

Well for example yours - if you don’t pay for these rare books and don’t store them in good condition, then you have decided that they are not worth saving. Many of these rare books would run you like I don’t know, 1 buck?

I was thinking more in line “people whose jobs are threatened by technology are biased when evaluating that technology”. Note that I don’t make quality judgement about quality of LLM output.

Government absolutely should tell people what they could do to some degree - vulnerable people are very prone to being scammed.

Artists are biased when evaluating AI art (same with programmers evaluating AI code).

Yes, rich people get scammed too.

Communist countries are opposite of UBI by design! You are actually expected to work and work hard and freeloaders are punished. Of course work is extremely inefficient in communist systems and this system leads to poverty, but thinking tha

Why do you think it would fail? I think it’d be zero shot.

by azan_ 2mo ago
Not really. Why would that be the case?

Poverty and inequality keeps declining all the time thanks to economic growth.

Do you think this was supposed to be art? Wow.

Yeah, it appears that if your prior is that AI can't be good, no evidence can convince you that actually current models are extremely capable.

Surely you realise that average person can just buy stocks and reap benefits of it? And I'm not sure if you are serious about stock price-GDP division (typically higher stock prices are associated with INCREASE in GDP, not decrease).

That's very myopic view. The gains by the rise of IT have been staggering in e.g. medicine. Modern drug discovery would be impossible without advances in computation, and we are getting breakthrough drugs all the time thanks to that. &
